It started with a car chase through a Chicago neighborhood that ended in a crash and a riot. ICE agents say the driver was an immigrant in the U.S. illegally who was trying to flee arrest.
According to WLS, a DHS spokesperson says the pursuit ended with “illegal aliens ramming law enforcement with their vehicle, which resulted in the arrest of two illegal aliens from Venezuela.” After that, “a violent mob began to surround law enforcement.”
Residents at the scene began throwing eggs and rocks at the agents, who in turn fired tear gas to disperse the crowd.
DHS further addressed rumors about a separate arrest involving an American, saying, “A U.S. citizen teenager threw eggs and hit a CBP Officer in the head. Agents observed him gathering rocks after objects had already been thrown at law enforcement officers. The individual was arrested for the assault and taken to the FBI Field Office in Chicago, where he freely admitted without questioning to throwing eggs at agents. His attorney met with him at the field office, and he was released without charges.”
